Interface design in times of information overflow

Since the age of the mobile web we're constantly surrounded by huge amounts of information. Nowadays Interface Design is everywhere and its often our main way to navigate through all areas of everyday life.

As Interface Designers we have therefore the responsibility to create designs that help the user to make the right decisions and guide him to the best and fastest path. There is a huge dependency on digital tools and a bad user experience can complicate the users life dramatically. But that also means that a good user experience can simplify and optimize the way people manage everyday challenges. During my lecture I'll explain these design challenges and responsibilities by taking a deeper look on our thinking behind our Infotainment concept for Tesla and our Pro-Sport Analytics Platform for Whoop.
